📣 Please share! We’re recruiting to build predictive models of gene regulation in plants. We’d love to hear from anyone with strong foundations in regulatory genomics or ML and fluency with coding agents. Any career stage; no plant background needed. noborilab.org 1/5

Excited to launch our ERC project ImmuneCellState 🚀 We’ll investigate how individual plant cells respond to pathogens and explore new dimensions of plant immunity research by integrating single-cell/spatial omics, deep learning and genome editing. @thesainsburylab.bsky.social @erc.europa.eu

The dual trxG/PcG protein ULTRAPETALA1 modulates H3K27me3 and directly enhances POLYCOMB REPRESSIVE COMPLEX 2 activity for fine-tuned reproductive transitions - Nature Plants
This study reports a bivalent factor, ULTRAPETALA1, that can counteract as well as promote PRC2 activity at hundreds of developmental genes in Arabidopsis thaliana. The pro-PRC2 activity of ULTRAPETAL...

Hydathodes at the forefront of plant immunity against vascular pathogens
Hydathodes are tiny plant organs that form an interface between the leaf surface and xylem vasculature. They facilitate excretion of xylem fluid under…

Excited to share our paper in PLOS Pathogens! This work adds to the limited understanding we have on immunity in specialized plant organs like hydathodes. Big thanks to everyone involved at the University of Amsterdam! doi.org/10.1371/jour... @pfeilmeier.bsky.social @havandenburg.bsky.social

Lighten up your life! We built a “darkbox” with a CCD camera to image bacterial infections across entire trays of Arabidopsis plants. Our technical advance with Python image analysis pipeline out now! @havandenburg.bsky.social @nwtaks.bsky.social bsppjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
